Library: Artificial Intelligence (AI): Writing & Citing with AI

Using AI Tools in your Writing

Responsibilities
Sample Publisher AI Policies

While AI can be helpful, its use in scholarly publishing comes with responsibilities.

Many journals now require disclosure of AI use.
Most publishers and funders do not allow AI to be listed as an author. AI tools can fabricate information, misquote sources, and introduce bias. You must review, fact-check, revise, and take fully responsibility for any AI-generated output.
Do not input confidential data, proprietary methods, or unpublished findings into generative AI tools.
Peer reviewers should never use AI to summarize or critique confidential manuscripts.
Always check journal policies, funder policies, and disciplinary guidelines.

Citing AI in Your Work

Most citation styles are now offering guidance:

APA (7th ed.):

OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT (Mar 14 version) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/

In-Text Example:
(ChatGPT, OpenAI, 2023)

MLA (9th ed.):

ChatGPT. Response to “What is artificial intelligence?” OpenAI, 14 Mar. 2023, https://chat.openai.com/.

Note about Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Always check with your instructor or advisor before using AI in academic work. Some institutions or faculty prohibit or limit its use.

In regards to ACHE, the student must confirm whether generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) has been explicitly allowed or required in their program and how they may use it. Using Gen-AI to complete your assignments without explicit authorization breaches academic integrity under ACHE's AI policy.
